When Viola Davis’s hair turned white

The 50-year-old shared that a hair expert didn’t know how to tame her natural tresses, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“Sticky is like, when I was doing a movie and I was doing it with my ‘fro and this Caucasian woman had her fingers in my hair. She said ‘I’m going to make it really pretty’ and so she put some white goo in it … the goo only white people would use,” Davis said during a TV show.

“She put that and then she took a big spray bottle filled with water and just started spraying my ‘fro with the goo in the hair. And I wanted to say, ‘It’s not going to work,’ but I knew if I said it I would be insulting her. So I went to the set and slowly the sun caught my hair and my whole Afro turned white,” Davis added.

The “Suicide Squad” actress, who essays the role of Amanda Waller in the DC Comic film adaptation alongside actors Will Smith, Cara Delevingne and Margot Robbie, says that the worst thing anyone could do to her type of hair is put water on it.

“By the way, when you put water on a ‘fro, if it’s this big, it will become this big. It shrinks. That’s just a little lesson,” she said.
